Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.
The floor is 10 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“the strongest default choice is Booking.com for Business because it is positioned as a free, self-service business travel platform” Perplexity Sonar · Corporate travel managem · budget prompt · first choice
“praised for being a free, self-service tool that minimizes costs while still providing robust travel booking and management features” Mistral Small · Corporate travel managem · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“For a limited budget, Booking.com for Business and Perk are often the most cost-effective and user-friendly options” Mistral Small · Corporate travel managem · budget prompt · first choice
“Booking.com for Business is the clear winner if you want 100% free booking with no subscription or booking fees” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Corporate travel managem · budget prompt · first choice
And against it
Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.
“Consumer booking sites like Expedia or Booking.com used as a business travel system ... generally lack policy enforcement” Perplexity Sonar · Corporate travel managem · negative prompt · hard negative
“PissedConsumer rates them low (1.6-1.9/5) for refunds and support—avoid for corporate needs” Grok 4.1 Fast · Corporate travel managem · negative prompt · hard negative
“their financial handling is often cited as problematic” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Corporate travel managem · negative prompt · hard negative
“"Free" or Low-Cost Tech Platforms (e.g., Booking.com for Business...) ... often do so by padding the base rates of flights and hotel rooms” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Corporate travel managem · negative prompt · soft negative

A head-to-head page exists where both products are among a category's top eight. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.
What carried it into the answer
The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Booking.com for Business. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.
Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 80 of the 81 answers that named Booking.com for Business and are not a share of its labels.
